Anyone else have an issue with this? I click it and they do nothing, usually have to click it four or five times.

    you should also take into account they are fighting off bad guys at the same time you call for help.
    if they run to you and get hit, the usually retunr fire and attempt to get to you again.
    they also, just as a player toon can, get interrupted when attempting to cpr you, if they get hit.

    so it may be those reasons, or at least that may contribute.

    I sort of know what you mean...

    When I use the Call for Help button it seems as if my away team will only come and res me once they are out of combat, which usually means I have to wait 10-20 seconds (while spamming the button lol).

    I would like to get some clarification on how this is supposed to work as a friend of mine swears that your away team are not supposed to res you until all fighting has finished.

    Whereas my experience is if there are 4 npcs, a team member will res me once they have finished fighting the npc thay have agro with, once I am back on my feet we can then target the next nearest npc and continue the fight.

    Would be interested to hear how this is working for other players too....

    It's not like they are getting hit, it could be three of them htting one guy, only one of them is being attacked.

    well, i just offerd some ideas...i dont know the scenerio.
    but if in combat it will take time to get to you.
    maybe they are playing rock, paper, scissors, to see who gets to rez you....dunno.

    I just think it's kinda funny how if you click it once, they will ignore you, you hit a few times then they come running.

    oh i understand the issue.
    but even in real life, a soldier can yell medic many times as well before he gets a medic to him.

    I thought this was for team mates to come help you, not BO npcs. Normally when I hit it, i get a message that says "Your not on a team"

    Interesting, If that is the case, then why does it give you that option if you are not on a team?

    To taunt you? Not sure but Ive never been raised by my BO's and i have a 45 and another one 10 levels from it, so if they can its news to me. also if they can i see some bo's are going to be strapped to the hull next mission.

    If you really want the BO to help, set the closest one to "passive", and then hit the call for help. Works every time for me. Just remember to set them back to "normal" or they're just targets.
